Just in case the Starbucks on Grafton Street is that bit too far away and the one on Westmoreland Street means crossing the road not to mention that you've completely forgotten about the one on Dawson Street - then there's always this one - you'll find all of the usual Starbucks goodness here... ...

The River Lee Hotel

The River Lee Hotel 4 Star Hotels · Cork

3.0 on January 4th, 2012

Recently refurbished, The River Lee Hotel offers comfortable accommodation within easy walking distance of the city centre. For a luxury four star hotel, the rooms aren't going to set your world on fire and the hotel pool is shared with local gym members. That said, the reception areas are minima...

The Exchequer

The Exchequer Pubs & Bars · Dublin

4.0 on January 4th, 2012

Grabbed dinner here with a group of friends the other night - good big tables for groups, food is above average for a pub and there's a decent selection of beers to try. All in all, a good place to start a night out.

4.0 on December 28th, 2011

Great little restaurant serving Lebanese food, it's BYOB so it's popular with groups. The coffee is a bit odd so I suggest you BYOC too!

Reads of Nassau Street

Reads of Nassau Street Books & Magazines · Dublin

3.0 on December 25th, 2011

Decent-ish selection of books, more of an overgrown newsagents than a bookshop - appears cheaper than it actually is thanks to all the special offer stickers on the books. Very handy and well stocked stationery section downstairs, this is the best bit in my opinion. Also, handy ATM in the magazin...

Big improvement on the old building, queues move fairly quickly and staff are helpful - still not the ideal place to spend an afternoon!

I was in here to get a form stamped the other day (I'm not a regular!), the queue moved quickly and the Garda was very helpful.

St. Stephen's Green Luas Stop

St. Stephen's Green Luas Stop Tram Stops · Dublin

3.0 on December 20th, 2011

Great location for a stop but I always find myself in a mad dash for the tram due to the extremely slow ticketing machines, there's got to be a better system - i.e. get your ticket on platform or on-board

Great tourist centre, full of leaflets on interesting things to do and informative and helpful staff to call upon if you need a hand. They even have a café here should you need to take a break from all the itinerary or staycation planning!
